Question:

The liver is affected; and skin and eyes turn yellow due to the deposit of bile pigments. Which of the following digestive disorders is described here?

Options:

Constipation

Vomiting

Jaundice

Diarrhoea

Correct Answer:

Jaundice

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) -Jaundice

The described condition is Jaundice. Jaundice is a medical condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes. This yellowing occurs due to the buildup of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. When the liver is unable to properly process or excrete bilirubin, it accumulates in the blood and can cause the skin and eyes to turn yellow.

Jaundice can occur for various reasons, including liver disease, obstruction of the bile ducts, or excessive breakdown of red blood cells. When the liver is affected, it may not be able to process bilirubin efficiently, leading to its accumulation in the bloodstream and subsequent yellowing of the skin and eyes.
